Switch to new auto-update & add linux build

* Remove squirrel hooks (the installing & uninstalling is now
   done by the, er, installer)
 * Switch to electron-auto-update
 * Shorten initial update delay because we no longer need to wait
   for squirrel to release a lock file
 * Change update URLs because windows is now one installer for
   both 32 & 64 bit.
 * Update electron-builder to 10 where NSIS is now the default
   target for Windows.
 * Add linux to the target list, building a deb.
 * Remove sqirrel-specific installation spinner
 * Remove redundant !**/*  from files
